Reviews

• "As a bonus there are series of solid stunts and explosive action sequences, and the simply structured plot never distracts from the star of the amusing" Casablanca "variant." (VideoWoche)

• "The banal action version of“ Casablanca ”, which is set into a chaotic future, unveils the physical charms of its weak leading actress as the main attraction. The film has nothing more to offer." - " Lexicon of International Films " (CD-ROM edition), Systhema, Munich 1997

• "Bright and action-packed comic film adaptation, in which Baywatch - The Lifeguards of Malibu -Pamela Anderson Lee shows itself at its best." (Entertainment Markt)
